For example, it's easy to say Green went from 15.2/5.6/1.8 to 9.8/3.3/.7 and think he got worse. Unfortunately, this ignores the fact he just dropped from 37 mpg to 23.5.

So look at his per 36 minute numbers:
OKC: 14.8/5.4/1.8 with .8 stl, .4 blk, 1.5 to's on .437/.304/.818 shooting.
Boston: 14.9/5.1/1.1 with .8 stl, .8 blk, 1.4 to's on .485/.296/.794 shooting.


The fans just want to put the guy under a microscope because he was the main piece received in exchange for a very popular role player.  Green would have needed to become Jordan for the fans to shut up, and that's not going to happen.

If Green was a hall of fame player do you really think OKC would have dealt him for Perkins???  Green is a decent starter in this league or an excellent bench player (isn't this exactly what we've been wanting the past 3 years)???
What we needed was an impact player off the bench. Jeff Green played okay, but didn't have the sort of impact that this team needed.

I absolutely love this guy. Obviously he did a pretty sub-par job this season, but I am excited to see what this guy can do. I definitely think he should be starting, but he needs to prove himself to this team and its fans. I'm excited for his development. I believe in Green
